HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Extremely hazardous liquid and vapor. Causes severe burns that may not be immediately painful or visible. May be fatal if
inhaled or swallowed. May cause damage to bones.
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
SKIN: Liquid causes severe irritation and burns of eyes and skin
EYES: Both liquid and vapor can cause irritation or corneal burns.
INHALATION: May cause irritation to mucous membranes. Inhalation causes acute systematic poisoning which must
receive immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Ingestion causes vomiting and severe burns of mouth and stomach.

FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN:
Do not scrub. Remove the victim from the contaminated area and immediately wash the burned area with plenty of
water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Limit washing to 5 minutes if treatment specific for HF exposure is available.
Remove all contaminated clothing while washing continuously. After through washing for at least 5 minutes, the burned
area should be immersed in a solution of 0.13% iced aqueous Zephiran® Chloride until pain is relieved. As an alternate
first aid treatment, 2.5% calcium gluconate gel may be continuously massaged into the burn area until the pain is
relieved. For larger burns or burns treated with calcium gluconate gel (in which pain is present longer than 30 minutes),
a physician should inject 5% aqueous calcium gluconate beneath, around and in the burned area. Use of local
anesthetics is not recommended, as a reduction in pain is an indicator of effectiveness of treatment.
EYES: Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with copious quantities of water, keeping eyelids apart and away from eyeballs
during irrigation. Get competent medical attention immediately, preferably an eye specialist. If a physician is not
immediately available, apply one or two drops of 0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride solution, or other aqueous topical
ophthalmic anesthetic and continue irrigation. DO NOT use the solution described for skin treatment. Use no oils or
greases unless instructed to do so by a physician. Irrigate with 1% calcium gluconate in normal saline for 1 to 2 hours to
prevent or lessen corneal damamge.
Move to fresh air. Keep the victim lying down, quiet and warm. Get competent medical attention
INHALATION:
immediately. If breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration at once. An authorized person should
administer oxygen to a victim who is having difficulty breathing, until the victim is able to breathe easily by
himself. Calcium gluconate , 2.5% in normal saline may be given by nebulizer with oxygen. DO NOT give
stimulants unless instructed to do so by a physician. Victim should be examined by a physician and held
under observation for at least 24 hours.
INGESTION: Drink large amounts of water to dilute. DO NOT induce vomiting. Several glasses of milk or several ounces of
milk of magnesia may be given for their soothing effect. Take the victim to a doctor.
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN:
Treat symptomatically.
For Hydrofluoric Acid:
For burns of large skin areas (greater than 25 square inches), for ingestion and for significant
inhalation exposure, severe systemic effects may occur. Monitor and correct for hypocalcemia,
cardiac arrhythmias, hypomagnesemia and hyperkalemia. In some cases hemodialysis may be
indicated. For certain burns, especially of the digits, use of intra-arterial calcium gluconate may
be indicated. For inhalation exposures, treat as chemical pneumonia. Monitor for hypocalcemia.
2.5% calcium gluconate in normal saline by nebulizer or by IPPB with 100% oxygen may
decrease pulmonary damage. Bronchodilators may also be administered.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water or suitable agent for fires adjacent to non-leaking tanks or containers of HF. This substance is not combustible. Use
water fog or carbon dioxide. DO NOT use solid water streams near ruptured tanks or spills of HF. Acid reacts with water and can
splatter acid onto personnel.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
The product is not flammable. Emits toxic fumes.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
Use spray to cool exposed containers. Block sewers in the path of spreading spill to prevent entry. Remove containers of this
material to cool areas. Prevent the boiling of this formulation. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus approved by NIOSH and full
chemical protective clothing. Use water spray to keep containers cool.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Good ventilation is necessary. Discharge will ordinarily be a vapor or a liquid that gives off fumes of HF gas. Those treating spills or
repairing leaks must use full protective equipment. Take actions to minimize environmental impact. Try to contain spillage and
avoid drainage to areas, which cannot be treated. Rapid dilution of the spill with water will reduce the amount of fumes given off.
Carefully neutralize the dilute liquid with lime slurry, soda ash, limestone, caustic soda or other alkaline material.
(See sections 10 and 13 for more information.)
Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See Section 15 regarding reporting
requirements.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
NORMAL HANDLING: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
DO NOT breathe vapor or mist. Use only adequate ventilation. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes and clothing, even dilute solutions.
DO NOT add water to acid.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Store in approved containers only. Store in cool, well-ventilated area. Flammable hydrogen gas can be generated in contact with
metals. Diking of storage tanks is recommended.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Material must be handled or transferred in an approved fume hood or with equivalent ventilation sufficient to reduce vapor and acid
mists below permissible TLV levels. Packaging and unloading areas and open processing equipment may require mechanical
exhaust systems.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
SKIN PROTECTION:
For routine product use, wear acid-resistant jacket, trousers, boots and gauntlet gloves. For increased protection, use airsupplied totally encapsulating HF resistant protective suit.
EYE PROTECTION:
As a minimum, wear hardhat, chemical safety goggles (plastic lenses), and full-face plastic shield. For increased protection,
use air-supplied hydrofluoric acid resistant hood.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Where required, use a respirator approved by NIOSH for HF gas or mists, as applicable. Some exposures may require a
NIOSH-approved, self-contained breathing apparatus or air supplied respirator.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Eyewash and quick-drench shower facilities, protected from freezing, should be available where HF is stored or handled.
